WSO Testimonials

He provided me with probably the most helpful mock interview and advice for PE recruiting. Not only was the conversation enjoyable, but also quite challenging. He brought up some must-know topics for interviews that I've never seen in my previous prep programs or guides. I felt much more confident after speaking with him on items like how to structure my deal walkthrough, the equity vs debt investor viewpoints, and how to analyze a quick case. He was very generous with his time, as we went nearly 30 minutes over the hour mark! We spent some time talking generally about interview tips and career trajectory at the end, which was helpful color and once again provided me with much-needed clarity. It was an invaluable discussion and one that I would very highly recommend!

I entered the PE world from a non-traditional background from a semi-target school without any family connections or understanding of the broader finance industry. WSO was my first resource to learn about IB, PE, etc. and served as an important community for me to learn about the industry. It was also a place where we spent a lot of free time during down time at work. WSO has evolved over time into a sophisticated ed tech platform with many valuable training programs. Huge fan and forever grateful to WSO, Patrick, and the whole community. Highly recommend.

Hi Patrick - just wanted to let you know that I accepted an offer from a firm in Hong Kong. They are an advisory platform that has a merchant banking side, for which I'll be joining for 6 months starting in May.

After a friend of mine bought a few properties in Eastern Europe, I became more interested in real estate, and the possibility of diversifying my portfolio. This course offers a great foundation for understanding the financials of real estate investing, and modeling possible returns on multifamily acquisitions, commercial space, or even office spaces.

Because of WSO I landed a six figure job in IBD back in 2012, which enabled me to build up enough savings to start my own company in 2019. Without WSO, this wouldn't have been possible!

As leveraged finance practitioner in BB bank can only fully recommend WSO LBO modelling course to all who needs practical experience of using leveraged finance and understanding model in detail - whether you'e at sells-de or buy-side. Course also comes at great value of money, specifically if you take is as a package with other courses. No brainer.

One of the go-to resources for anything IB, PE, VC, Consulting, etc.. anyone serious about breaking into these industries should be a part of the WSO community.

The Private Equity Interview course has been incredibly helpful in my development as an investment banker as well as my path to the buyside. The videos and models really introduced me to various concepts that I came across throughout my time in banking and the interview process.

I really enjoyed the structure of the course and all the golden nuggets in it - it builds nicely and gradually from the simple to the complex! The quizzes after each module are great to practice what was learnt. And the cheeky monkey that pops in and out every now and then makes the course more fun;)

WSO is definitely a unique community but there are genuine people trying to help each other and others who provide a good laugh!

The mentor gave me valuable insights and proposed to keep in touch after our call. He has a very impressive background.

Hi Patrick- I just got the Rothschild Spring Week for 2025 in London
